Pope Francis has a term for people like that. Christian parrots. They prattle on about their "catholic" beliefs but miss a (or many) vital component(s). In his opinion it's largely that they do not do good works..but he's a bit of a christian parrot himself - so he's happy not to mention the elephant in the room. Lots of ink has been spilt by clergy and laypersons bemoaning the death of catholicism in the hearts of catholics. There is a huge number of catholics who..thinking they are good and faithful catholics, utterly deny what the church infallibly declares. No amount of tossing catechism or the declarations of popes at their faces seems to dissuade them from their heresy.
They've become cultural catholics..but..functuionally, wishy washy american protestants. Where I come from..you'll find more "catholics" at an evangelical service than you will at mass. It's a genuine crisis of faith.
